Staff friendly, good internet facilities, well stocked shop & info but the cover on our bed had dried vomit on it which was a bit off putting. Checked in late so couldn\'t replace. Only black mark

Excellent hostel overall, great location (dont let the short walk put you off) great kitchen and lots of space. Good atmosphere without there being too much drinking. Only issues are the lack of heaters and lockers in rooms and the lack of soundproofing between rooms

A very nice place to stay, with good, clean facilities and a stunning location on the Lake Front. Only slight downside is lazy b@stards who don't clean up after themselves and leave it for the poor night porter! Although this happens in a few places I was quite shocked how many people seemed to think this was acceptable! But the actual hostel is very nice.

Some seem to think that this hostel is too far from the town center, all i will say is that if you think 10-15 minutes is too long a time to walk then you\'re simply lazy and can\'t think of anything better to find fault in this hostel. Like it\'s Franz Josef counterpart, it\'s a solid all rounder.

This hostel has excellent location by the lake, so we enjoyed nice views from the widnow during breakfast. It is clean and the staff is very friendly. Just one complaint - our room was just next to the bathroom and thus quite noisy during the night.

Great place, great people. 10 min walk to city center, but great views along the way.
